I liked this a lot. I was so excited to get back to the universe. I didn’t care for all the povs. Excited to continue the series.

‘stop dreaming.’
this book. wow. i was so excited to get back into stiefvater’s writing and i was not disappointed one bit. ronan is such a powerful character and the way he was written was very real and raw. the scene that especially stuck out to me was when adam was scrying in the barns and he started to scream. i could envision that scene as if i were seeing it in real life: adam’s body starting to twitch on the bed, his head thrown back. it was potrayed so well! i cant believe we have to wait another year or so for the next book—i loved maggie’s writing and i can’t wait to see more!

Tbh this book should probably be like 3 stars but unfortunately I am physically incapable of giving Ronan Lynch content anything less than 4 stars so here we are

I literally cannot get enough of this series and the whole world of The Raven Cycle and the Dreamer Trilogy, but I especially can't get enough of Ronan and Adam! Looking forward to the sequel!

medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book is so lukewarm.
And I have a theory that might explain why: for some reason, someone decided that reading TRC should not be a mandatory step before reading CDTH - so we ended up with a book that tries to make TRC seem like a distant, irrelevant past. You're trying to tell me that Gansey and Blue are just the briefest of thoughts in Ronan's mind? That Ronan and Adam don't talk about what those two might be up to? That nobody thinks of contacting, idk, those other psychics that had been helping them throughout the clusterfuck that TRC was?? Now this is just unrealistic. It really bothered me how every single fact from TRC that is mentioned here is followed by the most clinical tone, like Ronan himself is somehow detached from that past.
The new characters also felt kind of... whatever. I couldn't bring myself to care much about Farooq-Lane, and Jordan's only merit was making me like Declan a bit more. Hennessy was definitely there.
You can throw whatever "transition to adulthood" explanation my way, but it all boils down to the fact that CDTH is just not as charming nor as captivating as TRC.
